"Jordan's Swarovski-crystal and tulle wedding dress transformed her from C-list to A-list overnight.

"Whether you love it or not, you have to admire her for living out her fairytale dream," said the magazine.

The glamour girl's dress was designed by Isabell Kristensen and encrusted with thousands of pink crystals. She topped off her outfit with a foot-high crown.

It was deemed more stylish than the white Yves St Laurent trouser suit Bianca Jagger wore when she tied the knot with Rolling Stone Mick in 1971.

It was also ranked ahead of Princess Margaret's 1960 Norman Hartnett design and the traditional Giorgio Armani creation worn by Katie Holmes when she married Tom Cruise last year.

Jordan was ranked eighth in the magazine's list of 50 most stylish brides.

Number one was Hollywood icon Grace Kelly, who wed Prince Rainier of Monaco in 1956.

Designer Oscar de la Renta said: "On her wedding day, Grace Kelly gave new meaning to the word 'icon'. Her whole look, from the regal veil to the feminine lace details and the conservative gown, made her an ageless bride."

Actress Nicole Kidman was second, choosing a one-shouldered Balenciaga gown for her wedding to country singer Keith Urban last June.

Jackie Onassis was third for the chic dress she wore to wed John F Kennedy in 1953, followed by rock singer Pink.

Diana, Princess of Wales was ranked fifth in the list. She wore a David and Elizabeth Emmanuel design for her wedding in 1981.

Dita Von Teese, Victoria Beckham, Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy, Jordan and Jemma Kidd make up the top 10.
